Trends in Beijing
Beijing ChemTech Food?
So, I'm heading to Beijing University of Chemical Technology (or as the locals sometimes call it, 北化, Beihua) next week for a conference. I've heard the canteen food is legendary… but legendary in… more
The Beihua canteen... it's an experience. Let's just say the food's... robust. Think deeply savory, possibly slightly questionable hygiene standards, and portions that could feed a small family. It's definitely not Michelin-star, but you'll survive. The hot sauce is a good call; think of it as a culinary adventure insurance policy. Honestly, a mix of canteen food and your ramen might be the ideal strategy – best of both worlds. Don't be surprised if you see some dishes you can't quite identify. Embrace the mystery!
Ha! "Robust" is one word for it. I'm picturing something straight out of a Jackie Chan movie, food-wise. Small family portions? Sounds like my kind of challenge. I’ll definitely bring the ramen – good thinking on the insurance policy, haha. Mystery meat is part of the fun, right? Let's hope I don't need to use my emergency supply of Imodium.
Beijing's Dayangfang Bridge: Ghost Stories?
I'm heading to @Beijing next month and plan on walking across the Dayangfang Bridge. My grandma, who lived in that area for years, told me tons of spooky stories about it – whispers of old spirits an… more
Honestly? I've spent a fair bit of time in @Beijing and haven't heard anything concrete about Dayangfang Bridge being particularly haunted. Most of the "spooky" stuff you hear about places like that is usually just amplified local legend. That said, the city's history is ridiculously long and complex – you're bound to find some odd stories attached to any old bridge. Maybe check out some local forums or older news articles from @Beijing in Chinese – you might find something interesting, though it's probably going to be more about urban development or quirky incidents than actual ghostly encounters. Good luck with your investigation! Let me know if you uncover anything truly weird.
